Dev tablet with Qualcomm quad-core chip now available… for $1299

Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon S4 APQ8064 chip is the company’s first quad-core processor. It’s not available in any consumer devices yet, but if you’re willing to pay a premium for a tablet aimed at developers, you can pick up a 10 inch tablet with the newest processor for $1299.

Yes, you could buy a couple of iPads or half a dozen Google Nexus 7 tablets for that price. But if you’re thinking that way, this tablet probably wasn’t for you anyway.

Instead, it’s aimed at developers that want to test their apps on the latest Qualcomm hardware before it’s widely available, or hardware makers that want to see how the reference tablet functions.
